Example sentences

  Wǒ dāngrán xǐhuan nǐ.
  Of course I like you.

当然 is pronounced dāngrán and means “Of course”. It is one of the words in the HSK 3 vocabulary, a level of the Hanyu Shuiping Kaoshi, China’s standardised Chinese proficiency test. Recognising a word on a page and recalling it when you need it are different skills, and only the second survives a conversation — which is why LexiTrail shows you 当然 again just before you would have forgotten it, rather than on a fixed schedule.
